Meeting Schedule Assistant

Announcements

Regular Field Service
Arrangements

If you choose to, you can have a
grid printed on the announcements sheet of the regular weekly field
service arrangements:

Use theRegular Field Service Arrangementsdialogue to detail the information you would like to
display on the sheet. The type of information to be supplied
is self-explanatory, just populate the various boxes.

Note: You don't have to enter
text into all of the edit boxes. Since the new Service Meeting
format change in 2009, it is now rare that theRegular Field Service Arrangementswould be announced very often, if at
all. However since it was programmed into Meeting Schedule
Assistant we see no harm in including it with the software as an
option anyway. There may still be occasions where the congregation
could be informed of the arrangements, especially when there are
changes, and the grid generated by Meeting Schedule Assistant could
easily be printed for the Information Board at the Kingdom Hall. If
you do not want to have this feature on the Announcements sheet,
uncheck the box (seeAnnouncement
Previewtopic), and it will be
excluded.

Use this list to select the
day of the week to be modified, then make the changes as
required. Usually,regularfield service arrangements don't change that
often, so once you have populated the details for the very first
time you should make sure this option is set:

This will save the details so that
they are used automatically next time you make a new SMR
schedule.

There are times when you might want
to make a temporary change to the schedule (for example, a location
is not available because the brother and sister are away on
holiday). In this situation, change the text as required, but
leave the above setting unchecked. This will result in the
sheet showing only the temporary change and not saving the detail
as regular default text.
